    FAQ

    GPT-Image-2.6 FAQ

    What is the difference between Flare and Sunburst?

    Flare is optimized for fast iteration and can generate low-quality drafts in about six seconds. Sunburst prioritizes detail and edit consistency at medium or high quality.

    Is GPT-Image-2.6 faster than 2.5?

    OpenAI says Images 2.6 generates images 50% faster than the previous generation. Actual latency depends on quality, size, complexity, and queue load.

    Does GPT-Image-2.6 support GIF and SVG?

    Yes. Set output_format to gif or svg on the image generation endpoint. GIF and SVG are generation-only; the image edit endpoint does not support them.

    What does complexity do?

    complexity controls how much the model plans before rendering. Use low for focused edits and high for dense text or complex layouts. It does not add a separate fee.

    How is GPT-Image-2.6 priced?

    Official image output is $30 per 1M tokens, with image input at $8 per 1M and text input at $5 per 1M. ToAPIs shows a live SKU quote before you generate; final billing follows your account price.

    Can I edit an image with markup?

    Yes. Send a transparent PNG annotation layer as markup to /v1/images/edits. The overlay must match the first image's dimensions; markup cannot be combined with mask or prompt_rewriter.
